The boxer from Guadalajara says what he plans to do in September.

He wants revenge and show that he is the best.

Golovkin plans to change his strategy.

The boxer from Guadalajara does not plan to sit idly by. Canelo Álvarez is eager to face Gennady Golovkin again and show that he is a real beast in the ring. Yesterday, both boxers met again in Los Angeles, California.

Tension built up for four years and the reunion was not cordial on the part of the Mexican towards the Kazakh. Saúl Álvarez forgot the hug with Gennady Golovkin that closed the second fight between them on the night of September 15, 2018, after 12 rounds. It was a fight that «Canelo» won — the first one was a tie.

Agencia Reforma said that the official announcement of the third fight was filled with tension yesterday in Los Angeles, since Álvarez did not hide his discomfort about his rival and both men glared at each other. “This is personal to me. I do not pretend to be someone different, I cannot appear in the media or other places and say things and then pretend that it was not me. It’s personal, and he (Golovkin) talked a lot about me, and you know it.»

“I can’t wait to get in the ring. He is different, he pretends to be friendly, but he is an asshole. He pretends to be funny and that everything is fine, but in other places he talks shit, that’s how he is (Golovkin)”, Álvarez stated, ahead of the fight on September 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo, who comes from losing in May against Dmitry Bivol, will put his four Super Middleweight titles (WBC, IBF, WBO and WBA) at stake, while Golovkin will move up to that division, as he is the Middleweight champion.

«It’s my personality. I’m not trying to be a different person. I go out to box. If he has something personal, it’s his problem, not mine. If you see the achievements of my rival, I think he has done a great job. I am a fan of boxing and I respect him a lot. If he says it’s personal, I don’t understand why he does it.»

At the end of the second fight, we shook hands and everything was in the past,» he said. Both fighters did not stop looking at each other before the conference, posing for the cameras. According to Agencia Reforma, they did not take their eyes off each other for more than a minute, and the same thing happened at the end of the announcement.

The 24 rounds that Canelo and Golovkin gave to the fans in 2017 and 2018 were very similar: Great and with many blows, but for the third fight many changes could take place. Agencia Reforma reported that while Mexican Saúl Álvarez continues with Eddy Reynoso in the corner, Kazakh Gennady Golovkin no longer has coach Abel Sánchez. GGG already has former boxer and now trainer Johnathon Banks in its ranks.

From the outset, Banks already gave a preview of what we could see on September 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. “I had said that if Bivol came in with the jab, it was going to be very difficult for Canelo to win that fight. And we’ve seen it, when an opponent dominates him with the jab, it’s always hard for Canelo to pick up the pace. The same thing happened in the first fight with Golovkin,” he said. Under Banks’ orders, the Kazakh has four fights and a 4-0 record, with three knockouts, in addition to winning the IBF and WBA Middleweight titles. “It will be a better fight than the first two. At 40 years old, Golovkin has shown that he is the best at 160 pounds (Middleweight),” Reynoso, coach of the tricolor, recounted. Filed Under: Canelo Álvarez warns Golovkin
